let's see what we've accomplished this week...
(quasi apologies for taking photos right before sundown. i mean, no one really wants to share good photos until the final reveal so i care but don't care. this is not how i intend to show the real deal.)
closet doors got a sassy new coat of black paint.
they haven't been rehung because i'm not finished painting inside.
shocker.
at first, i thought i wanted to paint the back of the room door black as well.
but i've reconsidered. i think it might weigh that corner down too much.
the rug is in and i'm obsessed.
persian rugs foreva!!!
i took the hardware off the burl dresser for another round of cleaning.
it wasn't 100% and that drove me nuts. fingers crossed they don't require paint.
painting brass is like killing kittens. it's very sad. you don't do it.
i like the gumball machine. excited to show you what color i settled on!
later.
sorrynotsorry for the blurry pic.
definitely need to get the art situation figured out quickly.
consulting my inspiration on the regular to keep myself in check. edit edit edit.
ordered samples of each of these for drawer liners.
because details, y'all. details.
the other side of the room leaves a bit to be desired.
i'm still debating whether i want drapes. maybe sheers just to soften the windows?
why are window treatments so difficult?
the brass and lucite table from week 2 is an excellent printer perch next to the desk.
i'm all over the cork board situation, but will find another and hang them vertically for scale.
and for maximum inspiration in my face at all times.
my trusty assistant agrees.
he literally tried to be in every picture.
not sure the parsons chair or ficus will stay. perhaps one, but probably not both.
all in all, we're coming right along.
there has been much progress on the elimination of paper piles, so i am pleased.
now to get everything filed and stored away in a painted closet and lined drawers...
next week we'll talk finishing touches!
and probably last minute additions that i am out of my mind to consider.
what are our other ORC friends up to this week?

Love those doors painted black. Your cat is too cute!
Would it be find if I move into this office? :-) I would love this for myself! That rug...those black doors...your desk chair...Love it all. Can't wait to see the finished space! xx
The closet doors look great and I LOVE that rug! I hope you don't mind if I steal your drawer liner idea for my daughter's vanity. I was already planning on painting the inside of the drawers pink, but now they might need a nice liner to match...hmmm. Thanks!
That my friend, is the best looking printer table I've ever seen. :) And you kill me with that rug.
Wow. Your quasi reveal is looking pretty spectacular. Love the white, wood, brass, and lucite. The black is perfect on the doors. And that rug!!!
I am loving it all! The rug is completely mouth-watering!!!And that brass antelope has a buddy at my house. I scored one while thrifting a few weeks ago and it is one of my fave finds ever! So fun to follow along with all this :) xo Kristin
Looking good! Painting brass is like killing kittens... HAHAHAHHA.
I love you Tobe.
Oh baby.....to every decision a big fat yes! The rug is killer with everything else and that desk chair just reconfirms my thoughts for my new office space. Go girl!
This is looking AMAZING!! I love the black doors, Persian rug, and burl wood... and the brass!! Such a gorgeous combination.
XOXO,

the doors, the rug !! they look fantastic! also, I am in a burl wood phase, so great choice!
Looking fabulous, mama! Can't wait to see it all come together. That burl dresser is so good it's painful. As is the rug!
Lookin good my dear!
So so so good! I agree about painting brass - it is like killing kittens. Tarnished brass makes me so sad too though :(.

I just found your blog through this One Room Challenge and I LOVE EVERYTHING!!! I'm so obsessed with colorful persians and yours is unbelievable! Can't wait to follow along!!!
Love love love everything including your assistant. I have a couple cute assistants.
It's looking pretty good in there! What's up with the art?? I'm sure you will pretty Up those cork boards in no time.
Rug is tdf and I absolutely LOVE the painted doors. Stealing some ideas for my own home office makeover just so you know.
This room is just layer after layer of goodness:)
I love all of your choices so far! That rug us delicious!!
Looking so good! I love everything you've chosen so far. Excited to see that gumball machine!
Love that rug! I think the black doors look really crisp against the white walls. I am in love with the drawer liners and would be happy with either one. This is a great office.
Loving that rug. Looking good in there ;-)
That rug couldn't be more perfect!! What a pretty statement with the black doors, too!
I can hardly get past that gorgeous brass menagerie collection to comment on the rest of the goodness happening here. Rug - killer. Chair - killer. Doors - killer. Lucite table - killer. See where I'm going with this? Can not wait to see this in all it's glory.
We have a new hashtag...#persianrugforeva ! Looking good!
I am totally envious of that rug and all of the brass you have going on in the room.
In love with everything so far. We painted our hallway doors a glossy black and there's really just no substitute. It's like you're in some foreign chic film. I start talking to my husband in french and he's all like "you don't speak french" and then I remember he's right.
also, kitty can photobomb any picture as far as im concerned ;)
I love everything so far! Especially the rug and those dark closet doors!!! Can't wait to see what color you decided on for the gumball machine.
XO,

the doors look amazing in black!! yes! and the rug is so amazing! I love that you are even considering drawer liners...such a perfectionist. That brass bowl!! I can't wait to see what goes on your store!
Looks great! I love the black doors!
Love the black closet doors and the rug (of course!). And what a glam printer stand. Bravo!
Yup. the doors and the persian rug. Absolutely and love seeing where this is going!
That rug is a stunner!
Hang on! Where is that marbled paper from?? I've been searching for a fab drawer liner for months and all I can find is dated chevron from 5 years ago. I'm so excited for this room. The rug is bad ass and the closet doors are great, glad you didn't paint the other door too (although I too want to paint every freakin door black) Happy Weekend!
Your darling assistant and I LOVE the rug. The black doors are the perfect edge of drama. Great job. Pour yourself a glass of wine...it's Friday!
Have a wonderful weekend!
